I am just fine thanks.. good to see you pop in after all this time
I know...I keep trying to do better, but things just keep getting away from me. :-/
yeah.. life gets in the way
I wish I could get paid to play babble
lol ruru
na7
btwn work, a new motorcycle, volunteering for three organizations, it's a wonder I'm still upright sometimes...
If I could get paid, Ru, I'd be here everyday for hours!
hiya Une
three organizations?
hey! :-)
yeah ... 3 (thankfully not all at the same time all the time)
mi7
sounds like you have a full, interesting life, pinik
thanks, harp, sometimes I think too full to enjoy the interesting...
probably so, I know the feeling!
everyone here keeping busy, too?
120 and signing off -- gnite all :-)
I'm busy.. but not terribly so
night Une!
130 here une :D

So very true and I need a helluva lotta practice!
I better get ready for bed.. it's a long day tomorrow
Unfortunately, on that note...I need to call it a night so I can get up in the morning for another work day! Have a good one! (Nice running into you Ru!) :) caio
take care! :)
nice to see you pini.. take care
good morning all
good morning Sprite
good evening, flosey :) *hug* How was your day and how are you?
today was a much needed quiet day, the rest of the week is busy but ready for it. How about you Sprite, busy week ahead?
glad you could have some downtime to charge the battery! No, a quiet week, I planned it more or less empty because I didn't know if I would be flattened by the party. So now that I am not, I have a lovely week of leisure.
how nice to look ahead to leisure time
absolutely. Time to do some creative stuff, for sure.
do you have fun busy stuff planned, or just chores (apart from the doctor appointment)
couple of medical appts next 2 days, then fun bridge with regular 4some Friday
good morning {{sprite}} and good eve to you flosey.
hi there Rose, always good to see you
at least something fun to look forward to. You'll let us know what the doctor says, won't you? If it feels okay to share, that is?
*hugssss* my dear rose. I was just thinking I didn't see you yesterday and if you wasn't here today, I'd be worried Don had worsened. Good to see you. How are you and how is Don?
oh yes, Sprite, will keep you informed
oh, sprite, go for a walk in your forest. i would love to think and 'see' that.
i'm okay, just. nerve pain is gross. am thinking i might head back to dr. john.
my forest is beautiful atm. Autumn colours. But it pours and pours, sweetie. Neither Terra nor me would be stoked to be walking there now.
ouch Rose, nerve pain is nasty
sounds like a plan. Call him today, honey. Not a good thing to let the pain stack. Isn't the TENS helping at all?
don had a coughing attack which lasted until 4am. when i made him one of my concoctions of lemon juice etc. so both well down in the sleep area.
it does help sprite, but it comes back with a vengeance.
very good. A handsome dose of whiskey in it should send him straight to sleep :D
am sorry, btw, that Don isn't feeling well. Give him my best and a hug, please, darling?
naughty rain to be keeping you two out of your forest.
high time to call dr John then. Not today, of course... but tomorrow first thing. Okay?
yup, tomorrow is good. also i checked the freezer at church and i have two large containers of soup for friday which gives me a bit of slack.
lol rose, we even came back a day early from the canoe meet. Picture the deepest point of the camping, a borrowed tent that was not waterproof at all, a puddle of water that had grown to about 10x10m, and ankle-deep, or as Terra would tell you, up to the belly. All bedstuff wet.
ah good, rose, take the slack then and just defrost the soup. You should go very easy on yourself while in so much pain.
oh dear heaven sprite.
Ah the Autumn colours!! here the maples turn yellow - back in Ontario they're sugar maples and they turn red - creating a much more colourful mix
it was definitely NOT fun anymore. And I didn't say it, because the canoe meet is a big thing in the year, and it is Rob's thing, so I kept my mouth shut. But at some point he looked at me and said: I've had it. We are going home.
reminds me of the easter my first and i, with three kids were under leaky canvas when the wettest easter recorded hit the area where we were.
I would love to see those sugar maples turn one day, I have heard it is really spectacular.
i sat up all night watching my hubby and kids bobbing around the tent on their airbeds.
lollll yes rose, something like that! Only worse in your case, because you had little kids to keep warm and dry. I had quite the job just keeping Terra out of the water. Poor thing, with his arthrosis, he was NOT a happy puppy.
and they slept like that dead, probably?
yup, lolll
men.... :D (slightly jealous)
Good morning everybody
good morning, Maisie! *hug* How are you this wet and windy morning?
good morning Maisie
ahhh, maisie !! good morning honey
Well the rain has finally stopped over her, still windy though. I am fine thank you how are you?
all good here. Looking forward to a very lazy day. Just shopping and a tiny bit of cooking just for me, and that is IT.
Hello stranger (Rose) haven't seen you for a while, how are you and Don. I hear he's had flu
I like lazy days
am gonna binge-watch netflix and knit on my owl sweater.
Sounds like a plan. I am looking after Frankie who learned how to climb on Monday so will have my hands full. Also have Roni who started school on Monday so have to deliver him there at 1 o'clock
don still coughing. this is the third bout of flu. me , am suffering with the nerve pain. FM seems to be much under control. am walking around supermarkets, and our street with my new wheelie walker.
You should be friend with me on Facebook so you could see their pictures
oh, a busy day, Maisie! I remember those days... kids like that are a handful. Constant vigilance, lol.
so proud of you, rose. Goooo with the wheeliewalker.
Poor Don, one bout of flu knocks you out 3 must be awful. Glad you're enjoying the walker, pain not so good.
Maisie, I don't really do facebook. Hardly ever check in :(
Don should really get his tonsils out, rose, I think. Might be a constant source of bacteria etc.
I do Facebook mainly to play games but like seeing what friends and family are up to
the games took up too much of my time, and I have family and friends who easily post 50 pics a day. Drives me batty.
hello all - to me Facebook is just one big advertisement board - not going there much anymore
hi ursh!
I see why you don't do it then sprite
Morning ursh
true, dat, lots and lots of advertisements too
falling asleep!! must get to bed, 39 for tomorrow, good night all
sleep well, flosey, and good luck tomorrow
after don and i joined facebook (we set up accounts) a friend of ours was hacked into. right into his computer. since then don and i haven't touched our accounts. too scared to do so. don has finally managed to close his account.
sweet dreams dear flosey. xoxox
hey ya urshy. nice to see you
phantom: resilient
shrog....a pig shrug
oh nice! Am adding it.
added
ta much... lolll.
Have changed my icon. Good new word Rose
Oh I still see the old one
awww too cute. you must love them to bits.
awwww they are adorable!
Ah yhanks, I think so too
"thanks"
might take a few force-refreshes before you see the changed icon. We can see it when we click your profile though.
i refreshed my babble page and your new icon is heremaisie.
They were "my job" 4 days a week till they went to preschool. I start with the new pair at the end of this month. No more Tuesday whist for me any more
wow Maisie, that is great
I told the girls that if they have any more babies they'd better hurry up before I get to old to look after them
what a wonderful grandma you are Maisie. my hat is off to you.
and an awesome mother
I love it
I hope your girls appreciate you :) I'd kill for a mother like you.
What a nice thing to say
:)
The letters in this grid are the wrong way round, there are so many words I see like farm that aren't there
I know what you mean. I keep entering perfectly valid words that seem to be there too.
I can't see anything today, only got 62 words. Usually with a grid this size words jump out at you
doesn't help that the gerund ending is not as productive as you'd expect in a grid like this
new word redit - a book you've already taken out of the library
oh I like it. Am putting it in.
added
does happy jiggy dance for finding sprite a new word
thanks for finding it!
Time to go, enjoy your lazy day sprite, hope you pain goes Rose. See you tomorrow xoxo
have a lovely day, Maisie *hug*
thank you, bye.
xoxox Maisie. enjoy your day honey
fireflies here. Rose, darling, healing vibes to your nerve, I hope you can sleep. *hugs* to you and Don.
WTG SPRITE !! enjoy your deserved down time sweetie. xoxox
will do. Dolce far niente :D
Good morning. Winter has arrived!
Hello, Ruby, It is still just about mild here at around the 17c mark. Just a matter of time before we start getting much colder temperatures though.
Goodnews, zzoozz. I had a scan this AM and all is stable! I am very relieved
Hi all - that's fantastic news, Ruby :)
(((Ruby))) That is great to hear!!
Hopefully, now it cn be every 6 months instead of every 3
Hi Liz.
Hello, LIz!
So l guess l'll be around a while!!
That must be such a weight lifted from your shoulders.
Hi Zooz :)
Yes, I worry each time
LOL Thank goodness for that, Ruby :-)
That was for being around a while longer not that you worry each time :-)
Did you and your UK friends have a great day the other day, Liz?
Are you having Spring, Liz?
Yes - you mean whale watching? There were loads of whales but they weren't very active. Still for most people (them included) just seeing the whales is magical. They've been here nearly 2 weeks - leave tomorrow evening :(
Yes, Ruby - Spring here. The weather is warming up and it's lovely right now - no humidity and the nights are pleasant.
I still think AR 4/4 (bottom) should be able to be a PT...As in I can't be AR**ed to do anymore work today lol
At least they and you will have lots of nice memories of the time spent with you!
I always try that - hard to believe that the one word is accepted but not the other.
Is it too early for me to say I can't wait for Summer!
Never too early to say that
I hate feeling cold.
it's true Zooz - lots of lovely memories, which will last and then we've got more friends coming over next year :)
Oh yes me too. My mother and I are like reptiles we are always cold lol as my dad is always hot.
It's very cold in the house
Oh wow you are a busy couple, Liz! Good to keep active when you can.
Get that fire gong , Ruby!
Going even.
Hope you both keep warm during the winter.
As long as l'm alive, l don't care if it's too hot or too cold. But l think l'll make a fire
anyway LOL
It's funny - we've had no overseas visitors for quite a few years - now 2 sets within a few months of each other. Still, that's great and I'm happy with that.
Our first 2 years here, we had visitors almost every month
Thanks, /Liz. Hoping for a mild winter..Will do what , Molly, does and chant...mild winter...mild winter..lol
We also had more visitors the first few years after we moved here.
They say there'll be an Indian summer here, but there aren't any Indians
lol
I would love an indian Summer here!
:)
The lasst flowers are forming and the sedum arre particulrly lovely
Sounds lovely and here our jasmine is wonderful - to see and smell and in a few weeks all the jacaranda will be in full blossom.
I need to cut my two trees this winter. Not looking forward to that. Can ot afford to pay someone a large amount of money to do it so thought I would try and do it myself.
That sounds like a big job Zooz - take care you know which way they're going to fall!!!!
I had a jasmine plant many years ago but I could not keep it going.
Don't care which way they fall, Liz, as long as it is not me doing the fall lol
We had one in London too - I love the smell.
The closest thing l have to jasmine is "mock orange" but it's very short-lived.
:)
I am scared of heights too so will only cut from halfway up the tree and hope they grow back lol
There are still a lot of roses and the spirea are starting their second flowering.
wharf
Thanks, Ruby
sorry
Ooooh! And it extends into an 8 :)
I am thinking of planting roses next year as they look wonderful.
I love roses.
I'll snap that free clue up!
ty, l didn't see that, ty Liz
I thought they didn't grow here - but I have seen some. We don't have any.
Okay oh bad is it that I only knew about the gerund when you mentioned that the WH could be extended!
How not oh
My roses were terribly neglected, but l finally have a real "paysagiste" and they should be spectacular, in their quiet way, next year
Zooz - I'm just trying that ending on everything!
What colour is that Ruby?
I think roses grow everywhere; it's just a question of finding the right ones.
My garden is too small to have a landscapist.
Everything in the garden is i n a limited range: all pmurples, magenta, pink, red, blue salmon (to match the house) and some white for punctuation
Nice kind of pastel colours!
no yellow or orange (except in early spring with forsythia, daffs and primroses, none of which l planted)
It's like an English gardden
French gardens are too formal
How many kinds of sweet flowers grow In an English country garden? Got that song stuck in my head now lol
I planned it carefully before we came here, kept notebooks, read books, but it's my first gartrden and about half of what l put in the first year disappeared
trial and error, Ruby, trial and error.
L was very ambitious -- now, not so much
Your garden sounds lovely - and from the pictures I've seen, it is lovely.
l lost: lupins; foxglove, hollyhocks, 75% of the tulips, 2/3 of perlargonium, globe thistles.
Almost 10 here so had better get ready to see parents. Hope you have a great evening, Liz and a wonderful day, Ruby.
It's interesting watching its evolutiion
bye bye ((zzoozz))
Sorry to keep leaving you around ths time of the day.
l need to eat Something and make the fire
Have a lovely day Zooz
Bye Lizz
You too, Ruby
I have a new theory on inertia but it doesn’t seem to be gaining momentum.
:)
Good morning...happy hump day!
hi car, Liz, Byz, ruby

Are you still playing serpentine MLF? I try to avoid it; it is perfect for my OCD!!!
brb
lol ruby.. I haven't played much ina while the last few times I went there it was very small puzzles I don't do those. and my rating keeps falling
is the or a babblet?
or4
I am terrible at it and not improving. I'm always at the bottom of the scores
or4/4 like the end of the Irish expression
ruby I have been at the bottom when I have played off and on recently I am kind of stunned. I thought I would be at least in the middle.. no such luck
fund the or 4 ty
l got to 600 for about 5minutes but often drop below 500
I'm just not quick enough
the problem is ruby we are not "familiar" with a lot of words they use. I am really good with 4 letters words lol
nbt
l don't understand the scoring. Sometimes l think l've done really well, only to drop points (and the opposite). l've won once, butl think there were only one or two other players. lt's embarrassing!
is the wh8 a strange word?
ruby I agree.i won a round once but so did at least 3 or 4 other people that time
No, it extends from the other wh's, but it's surprising in gerund form
peri is good at serpentine
does it end in g or e?
Part of the problem is that l play lying down, not conducive to fast or correct typing
g
ruby nothing is easy when lying down using a computer or tablet lol
I got the wh8 :)
But all l really want to do is lie down, very lazy
poor ruby
No, it's great. I'm like a passha
<-- full of bad habits
60 left, but enough is enough
Bye MLF

Greetings, y'all. Happy Hump Day.

Hello everyone!
Hi Car!
Hellllllooooo!
Are the boys off to good starts at school?
Excellent start! Thank God!
What grades are they in?
zack seems very excited about the wide variety of things in High School.
Dylan hit a few technical / supply bumps, but otherwise seems to be ok. He finally has some of his buds in his homeroom / group this year.
Yes, many clubs, more responsibility, more independence...the steps to being an adult.
Do you still need the se 6/21? I found one.
I need se5 too.
It easily could have gone the other way quickly with him, so we are very glad he is off to a strong start. Gives a better base for days when things may tank.
s + ed 5/12
TY. Got it.
se + national saftey association abbreviation
How was the adirondacks?
Good grief...is that right? Is that where you were? I am so confused...
I was most recently at Acadia National Park and my head is still there.
It was just a magical place. So beautiful and so much to do and to see. We biked, hiked, and paddled.
Acadia! That's right! Wonderful! I am so glad you had a great trip. The pictures were amazing...as usual :)
I must return there in the next few years. I have more lakes in kayak in, more mountains to climb, and carriage roads for biking.
if you do, perhaps you can either come up or down on the midcoast part of Route 1 and we can get together... ;o)
Yes, yes, yes, penquis!
glad you enjoyed your visit...
My head is still there, penquis.
it's always hard to forget a beautiful place...
It sure is. There is so much more to explore at ANP and in Maine.
yes there are lots of very nice places, especially if you get off the beatin track, so to speak....
And Maine is so huge!
yes, a long drive from one end to the other...
And so many state parks, lakes, rivers, mountains.
yes, we have a lot of water in and out of the state....longest coastline in the US....
Longer than California, huh?
yes, because of the very twisty coastline and the islands....i think it's like 3500 miles...
66 left and I need to get ready for bed. I am sick today with dizziness, fever, chills, aches.
bummer....sleep well...
After driving through Maine and studying the map I now believe you.
:oD
Night-night.
goodnight...
Me too...time for bed. Early night. Have a great evening everyone. Feel better Scrabs (( ))
goodnight, car....
i am done....kind of an easy grid for me....bye all....*waving to the lurkers*....
It never ceases to amaze me how many bizarre, totally unknown words are in these grids.
good evening. Long time no play...
